The document discusses ancient measurement units and how to convert them to the modern metric system. It provides details on the cubit unit of measurement, Noah's Ark dimensions of 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide and 30 cubits high. It also includes information on the metric system units of length, mass, volume and temperature and prefixes used with metric units like milli, centi, and deci.

1. Ancient measurement… Approximately 18 inches What is a cubit?

3. 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, 30 cubits high How does this relate to the metric system??? How big was Noah ’s Ark?

4. Metric System

5. Length—Base unit is METERS Mass—Base unit is GRAMS Volume—Base unit is LITERS Temperature—Measured in DEGREES CELSIUS Measurement

6. Prefixes Milli (1/1000) or .001 Centi (1/100) or .01 Deci (1/10) or .1 Base Unit (meter, liter, gram) or 1 Deka (10) Hecto (100) Kilo (1000)

7. Miscellaneous 1 ml = 1cm 3 or cubic centimeters (cc ’s)

8. Unit Factoring-example Km—Hm—Dkm—m—dm—cm—mm Move decimal space right or left accordingly! 2.5mm = ? Hm 1.2Km = ? m =.000025HM =1200m

9. Unit Factoring K m— H m— D km— m — d m— c m— m m Use a mnemonic device to remember sequence K ing H arry ’s D aughter M arried D irty C harlie M oore Use a song to help remember it!

10. Factor-Label Method See Notebook Examples …

11. For extra credit: (Show dimensional analysis) How large, in volume, was Noah ’s Ark? (volume = length x width x height) Convert cubits to meters. (300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, 30 cubits high) 1 cubit=18 inches Name a common object as big as Noah ’s Ark.
